Wrong SSH key being presented by new containers

[petersrin]

1. Spin up a new Debian 12 LXC
2. Windows Client:

   ssh [ip]

3. I'm presented with a fingerprint using ed25519
4. Proxmox > LXC > Shell:

   ssh-keygen -lf /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key

5. I'm presented with a DIFFERENT fingerprint than the one showing up on my client

Previous containers I've installed show the same host fingerprint, but suddenly that behavior has changed. I feel like I'm missing something super obvious. This is all on a local network and there's literally no one on my premesis for an acre, so it's very not likely to be a MITM, but I'm absolutely scratching my head on this.

This is also relevant because I can't SSH into the container. I have:

1. Enabled root by password (for now just for the simplest test)
2. Rebooted the container
3. Cleared my client ssh config completely
4. Emptied out my client SSH Agent with

   ssh-add -d

5. apt update && apt upgrade

   on both proxmox and container

I can still get into my other containers from the client.

Ugh. Never mind, y'all. [SOLVED]. It was a rogue IP reservation on my router which kept pointing to the wrong server. That's embarassing, but at least my initial assumption: operator error, was right!
